Read Full articleTop 10 Facts about Electromagnetic Processing
Electromagnetic processing technologies use wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum that correspond to microwave, radio waves, infrared, and ultra violet to heat materials. Direct heating methods generate heat within a work piece, by either passing an electrical current through the material, or inducing an electrical current (eddy current) into the material. These technologies offer…
